You will be missed

No words can express my sorrow.

The power of the Internet...

It is hard to believe that with all the press that MySpace has been getting in the past couple of years... that someone who should know better does not realize the reach the Internet can have.

YouTube Vs. Gandhi In Death Match

I am not a heartless person. I am a respectful person... but... give me a break. In "YouTube Vs. Gandhi In Death Match" by Jason Lee Miller, Jason reports:
A New York-based clown-turned-stand-up-comedian-slash-yoga-mime posted a video of himself on YouTube impersonating Gandhi doing a pole dance. Stop laughing. India doesn't think it's funny, and the government has threatened to take action against YouTube if the video isn't removed.

Ummmmm wow... A fundamental right that Americans have is the freedom of expression. If an American (New York) posts a video on a site (You Tube) owned by an American company (Google), the choice for those offended should be... Do not watch the video.

What do you think?

MySpace pranks?

Well, it looks as if using MySpace to try to get back at people has made it to the news. A teacher was suspended when on a MySpace profile there was information containing references to homosexual fetishes and other raunchy details. Given the gravity of the matter school officials wanted to find out if the teacher was involved or if it was a student pulling a prank. The teacher was eventually found innocent.

Administrators said neither a student, nor anyone associated with Pender County Schools was the author of the website. Administrators are not releasing the persons name who did it. The teacher will be back at school when students return Tuesday.

This was reported by NewsChannel 3 WWAY, Wilmington, NC
